Lives destroyed and disrupted for want of safe abortion access.

I am 49 and I have had two abortions. One when I was 28 and one when I was 34. Both times I was married. The first time we were newly married and I knew we were not ready emotionally or financially to care for a child. As it turned out, we ended up divorcing.

When the doctor at the clinic at my school told me I was pregnant (I was already pretty sure), I told her I wanted to terminate the pregnancy, and she was very supportive. I hadn't even really considered having the baby. I knew that abortion was the right choice for me at that point in my life.
